 | V-3 DIVISION 1974 - 1975
 U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE CV-62
 Air Department
 "Whistles, hand signals . . . yellow shirts . . . "
 If you ever tripped over a tie-down chain or
 bumped your head on part of an aircraft in the
 hanger bay and had grim thoughts about it,
 chances are you were thinking about V-3 Division.
 
V-3 Division provides the essential services ofhanger deck security, Integrity, and aircraft handling.
 
Because the hanger bay is used by all hands fordifferent activities, aircraft on the hanger bay are
 often "respotted" to the flight deck by means of
 the four deck-edge elevators operated by
 V-3 Division personnel.
 
The confines of the hanger bay demand accuratejudgement,  top-notch maneuvering skill and safety
 to place over 90 aircraft  into a little space for
 maintenance and repair.
